Brain Work
I’m nearing the end of my day and this year has been kicking my ass with
Brain Work. True, it is an essential part of my responsibilities to think
and plan and solve problems and improve stuff with my brain. Here’s the
thing. My brain is tired. It doesn’t want to think for a while. I still
want to work and am actually quite happy to work. Bad things happen when I
have...

I went to the Dentist today.
I’ve been going to the same dentist for 17 years. I drive an hour to see him.
I have a fractured tooth from stress clenching my jaw. I could get a crown now or ignore it.

When I read of Julie’s news about the cancer overstaying its welcome this morning, I had myself a good cry. I got mad. I prayed. And then I thought about this incredible community here and how much we all adore Julie. We may not hold a magical cure for cancer in our hands, but we can direct a…

3 Things to improve your grade.
When I was in college I had a professor tell me that there were three
things a student could do to improve their grade.
1st - Buy the best quality paper that you can for your assignement.
2nd - Properly use a semicolon.
3rd - At some point in the first three pages make a handwritten correction.
File this under random memories.
Right Now.
Needs to be about 3 hours ago.

Best Day Ever
My feet are tired and sore. I’m exhausted. It’s the typical feeling that is left after spending a day at Disneyland.
I’ve been to Disneyland Dozens of times. I could see the entire park, ride every ride, and see every show in a single day.
I came nowhere near accomplishing that goal today and I would have been fine seeing only the front gate. Today was the first time I’d...
WatchMy day doesn’t suck.
Heads up.
Prepare for Disneyland picture spam tomorrow.
Last day of training.
Then I leave Sacramento. Make a brief stop in Merced to grab my family then we’ll be off to Anaheim for my daughter and sons first Disneyland experience and then Dana Point to see the in-laws.

Hotels
When traveling for work it’s always a strange thing to wake up in a hotel. My routine is off. I don’t have a set pattern of activities to move through.
I always wake far to early and then end up sitting in my room waiting to go to whatever meeting or operation I’m supposed to go to.
I had considered just going home for the night but that would have meant 5-6 hours in the car...

I highly recommend you take a look.

I'm the boss. Part III
When I was a young man I worked for my father on a cattle ranch. He had the
responsibility of managing the cattle yard. His responsibilities included
managing the people that worked there.
One day he was put in the position of terminating someones employment. The
employee deserved to be terminated for numerous issues. I noticed that my
father was in a darker mood than normal. This seemed odd...
Like a boss. Part II
Stress is telling me I want a burrito after a ‘challenging’ employee interaction resulting in strong accountability.

Dear Chicago,
It was doubtful that I was coming to see you in April. I’m delighted to report that I will be attending your festivities.
I'm a Boss.
I don’t mean that I’m a boss like I’m dominating something I’m attempting
to do. I’m a boss in the much more traditional sense. I have people that
report to me and to whom I am responsible for ensuring they are safe, well
trained and proficient at doing their jobs.
Being a boss sucks a lot of the time. No matter what you do or how good you
are someone will think...

I ate a corndog while taking a bath. Sometimes pregnancy is good.
She’s all mine.
I could be a dandy.
I like clothing. Not in the hey, if not for clothing I’d be naked kind of way. I actually have some desire to be stylish.
That being said you would have no idea of this by looking at me. I dress like a typically clueless middle 30’s man. My excuse for this is the girth I have attained in the last 7 years. I don’t feel confident in my body so instead of dressing well because I...
